Eshkol, i'm tired he said Eshkol, i'm leaving you now I could rail to the sky that my life is unfair But a child of the yew clan must never despair A sea-faring satyr must never despair The selkie was mine as i grew from a maid For seven sweet years we loved unafraid But all sweet things end, No matter how well they are made I treasured his sweetness as he treasured me And now i have naught but a life on the sea A forest girl takes to a life on the sea? Eshkol, i'm tired he said Eshkol, i'm leaving you now I railed to the trees that my life was unfair But a child of the yew clan must never despair A seafaring satyr must never despair! I've taken his skin and i've given it back His body is gone but his lesson will stay I took a chance on his leaving dance Now i leave with every wave I am leaving on every sweet ocean wave So yes, a satyr will take to the sea I'll treasure my story as he treasured me With a fox girl for captain i'll take to the sea! Eshkol, i'm tired, he said. Eshkol, i'm leaving you now I railed to the trees that my life was unfair But i'm blessed by the sun and the salt in my hair A seafaring satyr must never despair I treasured his body I treasured his skin He taught me of leaving, and so i begin Now i've the power of leaving And i'm leaving on every wave Stride from the ashes, i will, Stride to the docks, head held high Rejoice in the scent of the sea on the air For a seafaring satyr must never despair A seafaring satyr must never despair! Now i've the power of leaving And i'm leaving on every wave
